Speaking in Colour

19 March - 29 May 2011

This exhibition explores how Indigenous artists speak through colour. With paintings drawn from the Kimberley coast, the Tiwi Islands and the Central Desert, Speaking in Colour underscores the rich conceptual differences in naming, understanding and using colour across diverse language groups.

Artists represented include Sally Gabori, Kitty Kantilla and Daniel Walbidi,as well as a newly acquired suite of vivid watercolours by artists from Ntaria (Hermannsburg). Curated by Una Rey.
